Aizen felt the power swell around him… his newly given power, and that of his transcendent being. It felt warm, and the wings upon his back gave him a feeling like none other. But most important and most out of place was how his kido was acting differently. It felt greater, stronger, and much easier to cast than they once were.
Whereas before, even though his power was greater than that of his former pairs, he still felt the small drain it had on him. But now he felt nothing, not a single drain from his power. However, he immediately noticed that it also appeared with a magic circle.
"You are supposed to be focusing on me, Sosuke Aizen!" His opponent yelled out, with a sinister grin on the once always dower face. Aizen could only say one thing about that look, and that it looked wrong on Ichigo Kurosaki's face. "On me Sosuke Aizen!" He yelled out again charging towards him, his blood-red eyes shining and his sword drawn.
The hybrid easily defected the attack and sidestepped what came next. Aizen was growing bored of this, he could easily just kill this pathetic being, but to do that, he would have to kill his former nemesis, which Aizen didn't want.
Aizen sighed, defecting another attack. "This is getting old, don't you say?" He said dropping his sword arm to his side, but having it ready if his opponent tried to attack. "You have barely gotten an attack on me, and I'm getting tired of reflecting, deflecting, and sidestepping your pathetic attempts on hitting me."
Ikomikidomoe just remained still as she stared at the hybrid in front of her, but throughout the whole speech, a sinister grin remained plastered on the possessed body's face. "So this is all the Great Sosuke Aizen can do?" Aizen remained still with his signature smug look on his face. "Remain still, as I drain this body's life force dry."
"And to believe that the great adjuchas Ikomikidomoe, the hollow that defeated Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto in his prime age, and almost devoured the Soul King. Was only able to do basic moves." He responded immediately, noticing a tick appeared on the possessed body's forehead. "Such a shame really. To believe that a simple Arrancar who believed he was a king, had so much more skill than you. Oh if only the blue hair mance was here to see this. He would laugh at the sight of this. Or maybe the former king Barragan would regret not killing you when he had the chance."
"You shut it, you shinigami shitstain!" The possessed being shouted out. "You will not insult me! I am the great Ikomikidomoe! The one who invaded the Soul Society! I am the one who will kill the Soul King! Not you Sosuke Aizen!" She finished as he charged at the transcendent.
Aizen brought up his zanpakuto to deflect the attack, but he watched as mid-charge, the possessed being stumbled over falling face-first into the ground, with wide eyes. 'What's happening?' Aizen asked himself, but he got his answer from his opponent.
"N… no… this can't be ha… happening? Wh… why… is this happening? He… sho… shouldn't be able to do this?" The once echoing voice started breaking. Aizen could hear his former nemesis' voice more clearly.
'So you have finally finished it, Ichigo Kurosaki.' Aizen said to himself with a true, but small, smile joining upon his face. 'You took your damn time.' The body then stopped all movements, no muscles twitched, and only the breathing came from the body. 'Now I must wait, and see if you return Ichigo Kurosaki.' Aizen said to himself as he sat down on the floor of his prison for the past months.

The four spirits of power that resided in Ichigo Kurosaki's soul, smiled and grinned as they watched the darkness fade, and as the light returned to their home. "So it seems the King has beaten the bitch back." Zangetsu grinned as he looked around noticing that most of his home was once again in the shine of the light.
"Not completely." The old and wise voice of Yhwach said looking towards the mountains, well where the mountains were supposed to be. For that area was still shrouded in darkness. "Ichigo still has something to do." Everyone there nodded. But then they felt another presence, a sinister, and angered one. "But that doesn't mean we can sit ideally by and watch. We have someone to hold back, and this time, we have the advantage."
"Aye!" The other three spirits shouted out, as they summoned their powers. Longinus dawned his balance breaker, Lucifer summoned his armour, sword, and chains, Yhwach summoned his bows, and lastly, Zangetsu dawned his newly made Segunda Etapa.
The hollow/shinigami embodiment looked at himself with a grin that could put the woman in front of them to shame. His skin was pale white, nails black and long on both hands. The orange hair was long reaching his hips, and his mask was as it once was, but this one, where there was once two horns, there was now four horns, two on the side of his head, and to just below the chin, and his eyes, that were once yellow, were now blood red. However, the most noticeable things of his newly found release, was that his sword was like the time his master fought Sosuke Aizen and that he had six pairs of wings on his back.
Zangetsu looked up to the women in front of them and grinned. "It seems unlike last time, we are going to win this skirmish. For I have newfound power and one that is greater than yours." He then charged, laughing like an insane man. "Die you bitch!" He was followed by the other three spirits, and this time the sign of the victors was already showing.

Flashback

'What has been happening to me?' A certain orange-haired teen said to himself as he laid down on his bed looking towards the ceiling. Ever since he came to this town, Ichigo has noticed he's doing things that he never would have back in Karakura.
One of them is going on dates with half of the most popular females at his school. The other is enjoying the sight of their nude bodies. The third one, he imagined being in a bed with them. And the last but not least, is that his heart rate always grew whenever he was with them. But that, he was used to and it took him a long time to realize, for it always happened when he was his roommates. What has happened to him indeed?
Ichigo groaned when he felt his dick acting up, and got up from his bed. He needed to do something, something that isn't thinking about his friends and their bodies. He got up from his bed and left his room, noticing his sisters were in the living room watching a show.
Nel, Tsubaki, Yoruichi, and Tiamat were nowhere to be seen. Which made Ichigo guess that they were probably at Kisuke's new shop, and were training.
Ichigo went to the door grabbing his jacket and spoke. "Yuzu, Karin. I will be going out for a bit. Message me if you need anything." He looked at them and saw that they were looking at him.
"Well can you bring back pizza for dinner? We are a bit low on food, and I already plan on going out tomorrow to buy some more food." Yuzu spoke up as she looked at him.
Karin followed. "Also bubble tea. I heard that they have a few good choices, and I want to see if it's true." She saw Yuzu nod in understanding.
Ichigo sighed. "Of course. Message me what flavour you want, and if the others return have them message me what flavours they want." Both sisters nodded as he opened the door, putting his jacket on, and grabbing his keys as he did so. "See ya." The older brother then closed the door and left for the elevator to take him to the garage.
As he waited for the elevator to reach his destination, Ichigo took time to think over what has happened in the last few weeks. He needed to figure out what was happening and preferably sometime soon. Ichigo needed to figure out why his heart always raced when he was with them.
The small ding of the elevator reaching the garage was what took Ichigo's attention away from his thoughts, and he exited the confined room and moved to where he parked his car. Ichigo owned two vehicles thanks to his mother, Amaterasu.
One being a black BMW M8 Gran Coupe, with a convertible roof, and a license plate of BLECH, this one is his everyday car. The second being a BMW I8, which was black and red, and had a license plate of PROTECTOR, this vehicle was his special occasion car.
The one that was parked was his black m8, with its roof closed. Ichigo walked to the driver's door and opened it to show its red and black seats. He entered, started it up, and left the garage and made it to the open street.
As Ichigo paid attention to the road, he was in the thought of those who made his heart rate grow. He thought of all the people that affected him… on his heart. The first to come to mind were Tsubaki, Orihime, Nel, Yoruichi, and recently his sisters.
He knew these people, the first two being one of his first friends, Tsubaki being his oldest and first friend, and Orihime, whom he has known for a long time, and has fought alongside her and for her. For the latter two, Yoruichi was his teacher, but also one who opened himself to new feelings, and Nel was a champion, and ally, she fought for him, alongside him, she also saved him at times. However, Ichigo asked why his heart would flutter when he was around them.
The orange-haired teen then thought of those he recently met but also had a big influence on him. Those being Sona, Rias, Akeno, Tsubaki at times, and Koneko. They all trusted him, even though he never told them what his powers were, they all trusted him. He owed them a lot for everything they have done for him.
Ichigo left his thoughts when he noticed a white-haired nekomata walking around. 'What is Koneko doing out and about by herself? Why does she look down in the weather?' The orange-haired teen asked himself as he slowed his car down, and entered a parking lot. Ichigo then remembered that out of everyone that he had a great friendship with, Koneko was the only one he hasn't had a 'date' with. Ichigo then parked his car in the parking lot, and exited it, taking his keys with him. He then took his phone out and messaged his sisters, that he won't be home until later.
The response came immediately, with that they will be okay, and what kind of bubble tea they all wanted, and what they all wanted on the pizza. Ichigo sighed as he put his phone away and as he made his way to where he last saw Koneko, he found that she was standing in front of a candy shop. Ichigo went to her. "Yo Koneko." The short white-haired girl looked at him, and he noticed the immediate change in her mood. "Would you like to go out? I noticed that you are the only person I haven't had any personal time with. So with how I'm not busy, and from the looks of it, you aren't as well. We might as well."
Koneko looked at him as her heart fluttered and how its beats grew when he asked her out. Oh, how she has waited for this day. Koneko nodded immediately. "Yes, I would like that very much." She responded, and a thought came to mind. She grabbed his hand and dragged him into the candy shop she was standing in front of.
Ichigo laughed as he was dragged into a candy shop, and watched as Koneko picked out some of the candy. She soon dropped his hand as she continued getting sidetracked by the amount of candy that was around them. Ichigo smiled as she grabbed this and that, and as Koneko smiled as she looked around the place. "At least she's happy now." The orange-haired teen said to himself, as he looked for the chocolate section of the shop.
The two then met up at the cashier, where Ichigo had around six bars of chocolate, and where Koneko had around twelve bags of candy. The taller teen laughed and got a punch in the stomach. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry Koneko." He rubbed his stomach where she had punched him. "I just find it cute, that you love sweets that much."
Koneko blushed and placed the bags of candy onto the table where the cashier started scanning it and putting it into a bag. "Baka." She whispered and punched him again, lighter this time.
Ichigo laughed and placed the chocolate bars on the table as well. 'Koneko is cute.' He said to himself, and placed a hand onto her head, and ruffled her hair, making her pout.
The cashier watched this with a smile but said. "The total for the candy is 3158yen(29 USD), and for the chocolate will be 2613(23.99 USD)." He watched as the short teen went to grab something from her pocket, but was stopped by the taller teen.
"The total of both combined?" Ichigo asked the old man, and watched as he did the math, and answered. The orange-haired teen took out a card. "I will pay for both." He smiled down at Koneko. "My treat." Ichigo then paid and left with Koneko and the bags.
Once out of the store Koneko opened one of the bags of candy, took a gummy hamburger out of it, and started enjoying the sweets Ichigo just paid for. The orange-haired teen chuckled and then started walking in the direction of his parked vehicle.
"So what do you want to do now, Koneko?" He asked looking down at her and noticed as she looked around. But before they could get a few feet away, they both felt a disturbance close by. "What was that?"
Koneko, who was glaring in the direction of the disturbance, spoke with malice. "A stray." She dropped her bags of candy and made her way to the disturbance.
"Koneko wait!" Ichigo yelled out but she was gone before he knew it. "Damn." He grabbed the bags she dropped and turned to enter the store again. He watched as the store owner looked to him, and to speak but Ichigo interrupted. "I'm sorry but can you look after these? My friend ran off, and I need to catch up to her."
The store owner nodded. "Sure… what happened?" But Ichigo already dropped the bags onto the counter and left, making the cashier whisper with a shake of his head. "Teens nowadays. Always in a hurry for things."
As Ichigo exited the store, he focused on his scenes and found that Koneko wasn't alone, and was with some else. Within a millisecond the orange-haired teen vanished, heading towards his friend.
When he reappeared, Ichigo found himself in a warehouse. Inside of it was Koneko, who was now wearing black fingerless boxing gloves, and when Ichigo saw what she was fighting she was a bit of nostalgia, for in front of her was a tall, reaching past twelve feet, deformed man who had the lower body of a goat, a head of a pig, and in the place of his hands were swords.
Ichigo watched as Koneko easily dodged every swing the beast used. She was hopping from the roof to the walls and the floors. Every time she went to attack the thing, Ichigo watched as the beast staggered from each hit, but the most recent punch from Koneko sent the thing to the ground.
Which enraged the thing, and Ichigo looked on with a raised brow when the beast spoke. "You bitch! You dare send me to the ground! I'll kill you, you little bitch!" It finished as it got to its feet, and when he went to hit Koneko, Ichigo noticed that it was attacking with more force and speed.
That was when he felt like he needed to step in and help. So with a flick of his wrist, the holy spear was summoned, drawing the attention of both demons, and unluckily for Koneko, the beast's attack connected. Which resulted in her clothes being torn, and her being sent flying towards him.
Ichigo, knowing what would happen if Koneko was touched by his holy weapon, quickly dropped the True Longinus, and went to catch her. But it didn't end out like he thought it would, for as she was sent towards him, he noticed the panties she was wearing, a blue and white striped, with a strawberry on the back. Ichigo blushed which stopped him from trying to catch her, and because of that, when Koneko connected, he was all sent skidding to the ground, and once stopped found them to be in a very embarrassing position.
Koneko shot up when she realized that she came to a stop, and looked around trying to find where Ichigo was. But then she felt it, and immediately her face turned red, as she looked down and found that she was sitting on top of him.
Within seconds Koneko got off of him, and as she did the white-haired teen noticed that Ichigo also had an equally large blush on his face.
They were both taken from their embarrassment by laughter and looked towards the deformed beast. Ichigo glared at it, and summoned his spear to his hand, and said. "Koneko get behind me." She immediately did, and Ichigo Aimed his spear at the beast, a light glow started glowing off of it, and snarled. "Die."
Koneko watched as a bright beam was shot out of the spear's tip, and immediately her eyes started to burn from it. Ichigo who noticed this immediately went in front of her and blocked the light from her hitting her eyes.
After about another three seconds the light died off and vanished to reveal that the beast was nowhere to be seen, minus its legs, which fell limp and slowly started to turn to dust.
Ichigo, who was worried for his friend's eyes, after seeing the holy light, immediately turned around and asked. "Koneko, you should have listened to me. The lights from my spear are poisonous, and daily to demons." Koneko slowly opened her eyes, and Ichigo immediately noticed that they were bloodshot. 'Damn this isn't good.'
Koneko who is back to being her calm and detached self spoke. "I'm fine, Ichigo." She slowly got to her feet, taking off her boxing gloves. "Can we go back now?"
Ichigo followed, getting to his feet, nodding and saying. "That would be for the best." But before they could move for the exit, Ichigo watched as the remaining of Koneko's skirt disappeared, followed by her panties.
Simultaneously, Koneko blushed and pushed the rims of her shirt to cover her nakedness. 'What is this feeling?' She asked herself, looking at Ichigo who was staring at her. Koneko never got embarrassed when people saw her naked, yes she would be pissed, and angered, but never would the white-haired teen imagine herself being embarrassed.
Ichigo remained unmoving, as a blush slowly creeped onto his face. He just saw Koneko's developing ass. It wasn't like Sona's, or even as developed, but within a year or so, Ichigo believed that it could surpass that of the older women.
The orange-haired teen shook his head. 'Why did I think like that?' He asked himself as he made his way to Koneko planning on giving her his jacket, which he's currently taking off.
However, that plan when they heard a voice coming towards them. "Hey is anyone in there?" The voice sounded similar to both hybrids, but that didn't stop Ichigo from racing over to Koneko, picking her up bridal style, ignoring the warmth of her legs, and vanished, leaving a snapping sound behind.
Just as the two left, one Issei Hyoudou turned around the corner, who looked around looking for the orange-haired thief, and the short-haired nekomata. 'I swear I saw them entering here? Where the hell is Kurosaki, and what did he do with my sweet Koneko?' He asked himself as he looked around, finding nothing but torn cloth, and residue of a dead stray.
About two hundred metres away from the warehouse, an orange-haired teen appeared out of nowhere. In his arms was a short white-haired teen, who was wearing a jacket to conceal her nakedness. Ichigo looked down to his M8, opened the passenger door, and placed Koneko onto the seat.
Ichigo walked to the driver's side and entered. Once sat down in the driver's seat, he remained still, not starting the engine, and not speaking a word. The reason, well that was because he was too busy thinking about two things, trying to understand why he was acting like this, and another was what happened earlier, only a few minutes ago to be honest.
Koneko on the other hand only had one thing on her mind, and that sole thing is why she was getting the feeling to kiss the orange-haired teen beside her, and just now wanting his hands on her, to have him feel her undeveloped body. But she knew that wouldn't happen, for that wasn't who Ichigo was.
'Yo King.' The voice of his shinigami powers spoke out, breaking the silence in Ichigo's mind. 'Give me control for a bit. I'll solve this 'problem' for you.' Ichigo was immediately suspicious of what might happen if he did give control over the hollow. 'I promise I won't do anything stupid, just was your instinct and wants, wants you to do.'
The orange-haired teen hesitantly gave control over to the being holding his shinigami/hollow powers. Hichigo immediately grinned once he gained control of his host's body. "Finally!" He said as he looked over to the short-haired girl, who was looking towards him with questioning eyes, leaned in and placed a kiss onto her lips.
Koneko's eyes widened as she watched as her crush leaned towards her and as he placed a kiss upon her lips. Immediately she felt her face heating up, as her core warmed, as the butterflies in her stomach danced, and as she closed her eyes with a flutter. The kiss soon grew, and Koneko soon found herself kissing him back.
Hichigo could hear his master screaming, demanding control to be returned, but this was for Ichigo, and he needed this to understand what was happening to him. So Hichigo, knowing that there will be consequences, didn't give up his hold on the orange-haired body. 'This is for you, Ichigo. This is to help you understand what is happening to you.'
But instead, he grabbed the short white-haired teen by the hips, and brought him to his lap, heating the kiss. Well doing so, Hichigo also gave a little bit of control over Ichigo, allowing him to feel what his body was feeling, and how his heartbeat quickened.
When he felt that his master calmed down a bit, Hichigo slowly returned control over him. Knowing that Ichigo will continue what he started, only stopping when he realized that he had control again.
She was enjoying this, Ichigo's hands on her hips, as they kissed. Koneko slowly placed her hands onto his clothed chest, feeling the muscles under it. Then she felt something, something that interrupted his muscle, something she wanted to see.
Unconsciously Koneko started moving her hands down toward the rims of his shirt, hoping to see what it was that took up most of the orange-haired teen's chest.
Ichigo didn't know what it was he was feeling, all he knew was that it has a massive effect on his heart and that he recognizes it from all the other times when he was with the other females. The orange-haired teen squeezed the white-haired teen's thighs as he allowed his mind to wander.
The two continued this for a few more seconds until Ichigo felt his chest being revealed, and when Koneko broke the kiss to look at what she felt. However, what she saw wasn't what she expected. For in the centre of his chest was a massive round scar, one that covered a portion of his heart, and lungs.
Ichigo was too late to stop Koneko from looking upon his scar, the scar that took his life and scarred his body for life. He watched as tears slowly fell from her eyes, and as she ran a hand along his scar, feeling how rough it was. Ichigo placed a hand onto one of hers. "Koneko."
The teen remained still, only looking at the scar on Ichigo's chest. When she did look away it was to look at him. "How?" She asked as tears fell from her eyes, placing her hand onto the scar.
Ichigo sighed, placing a hand onto her's. "That story is for another time and day Koneko." He squeezed her small hand. He watched as her eyes moved to the other scars on his chest, the ones he gained from his fight with Zaraki, and those from Byakuya's flower petals.
Koneko didn't know what came over her in the next few seconds, but she knew the reason for it. These scars showed her that Ichigo has experienced something few others have in their lifetimes, death.
The white-haired teen soon found herself leaning forward, placing her ear over the heart, feeling overwhelming joy when she heard the harsh, blowing, musical, rumble of his heart. She didn't know why, but Koneko also found the scars sexy when she thought past the part where he might have died.
The nekomata looked up to see his chocolate brown eyes, looking down at her, and she felt her inside stir, warming, and fluttering at how he was looking at her. She didn't know why she leaned up and placed her lips on his, and why she said what she said when Koneko broke the kiss.
"Ichigo… I… love… you." She felt her face warm up, and the nekomata saw his eyes widened at her confession of love. Koneko watched as he remained still, only releasing a sign, but not responding to her confession. She waited for a response, and when none came, Koneko felt sadness swill inside. 'I knew my feelings wouldn't be returned. What was I thinking! I look like a child! Why would Ichi-'
Ichigo remained still, as he took in what she just told him. 'Is that the feeling? Is this what love feels like?' He asked himself while he watched as emotions flew across Koneko's face. Ichigo closed his eyes as he released a sigh, saying to himself. "I guess it is." He opened his eyes to see a sad and hurt look on her normally down in the weathered face.
He knew that it had to do with him, so without a second thought he leaned down and kissed her. 'I guess it is.' He said to himself as he broke the kiss, and saw that she was wide-eyed. "I love you as well Koneko." He watched as her mouth slack-jawed. Ichigo then remembered the others, Rias, Akeno, Sona, Tatsuki, Yoruichi, and Nel. The hybrid felt the same he's feeling now, for them. Ichigo placed a hand onto Koneko's cheek. "But Koneko. If you are true about your feelings towards me, you need to understand that the others might feel the same?"
She nodded and responded with. "As long as you return my feelings I'll accept them as rivals. My feelings will never change for you Ichigo." Koneko sounded determined, without any hesitation.
The orange-haired teen nodded, feeling joy swell inside of him. Ichigo then remembered he needed to be placed. He grabbed Koneko by the hips. "Koneko, I don't mind you sitting on my lap, but I need to grab the sweets from the store owner." She looked up to him and Ichigo saw the questioning look Koneko was giving him. "I promise to come back immediately." He grinned, opening the door behind him, gently pushing her to the side. "Just watch. I'll be back in a few."
Koneko then widened her eyes, as Ichigo vanished without a trace to show he was here, minus the memories of what just happened. She knew that Ichigo was extremely powerful, and fast, but to leave without a trace, was something that shook her.
And just as he said, Ichigo reappeared within seconds, with the bags of candy in hand. "These are for you." He handed her the bags, started up his car, and left the parking lot. 'Zangetsu.' He said into his mind. 'Thank you.'
The insane voice of his shinigami power spoke. 'Anything for you, King. And it's about fucking time you realize your feelings.'
Ichigo nodded. 'I agree with you wholeheartedly, Hichigo.' He said as he turned into a pizza place, remembering to grab some on the way home.

For the first time, Ichigo opened his eyes, and when he did, the once dark area was now bright. Slowly the area started morphing into his mindscape, with skyscrapers, trees, and mountains all coming into view.
Not far away, Ichigo noticed the embodiment of his power standing with their weapons drawn and aimed at a downed woman. Within a second Ichigo shunpo to their location, making everyone look towards him.
"Who's this?" He asked as he took in the woman on her knees. She was beautiful, but something about her screamed evil, and darkness.
"King, this is the bitch who tried to take over your body. She caused this shit." Zangetsu answered. "I say you absorb her power, King."
The woman glared at the albino version of the orange-haired teen. "Like fucking hell, I'll let you scum absorb my power! I am Ikomiki-!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Lucifer yelled out as he backhanded her, sending her to the ground. "I for one agree with the hollow." The man looked at Ichigo. "But the choice is your, Ichigo."
The orange-haired teen looked at the beings around him, noticing how beaten up they looked, and how they wanted to rest. 'She also backhanded Koneko, and also wanted to hurt the others.' The inner voice of Longinus said to Ichigo.
Ichigo looked to the hollow persona and summoned his zanpakuto. "At first I was going to let you go, but now that I heard you have threatened my friends, and harmed the ones I loved." He shook his head and positioned the larger Zangetsu to the centre of her chest. "My opinion has changed." He pushed Zangetsu forward and impaled the woman, whom's eyes widened as a black liquid started falling from her mouth, but most of all her body started disintegrating. "Just. Disappear. You are nothing, you will become nothing. All that will remain of you is the memories, and the power you once wielded will become mine." Her energy then slowly started pouring into his larger zanpakuto.
Within seconds the woman was gone, leaving Ichigo and his spirits to their peace. Everyone watched as the rest of the darkness vanished, leaving only the moon in the sky, to light the area.
Yhwach was the one to break the silence. "Ichigo you better leave to return to your body. You might find a friend who's waiting for you on the other side." The cloaked man walked over to him, placed hand onto Ichigo's shoulder. "We can take care of the rest."
Ichigo nodded. "Thank you, Yhwach." The orange-haired teen then looked to the other three spirits. "Thank you all. Thank you for fighting well, I was unable to help."
They all shook their heads. "We were protecting our home Ichigo. You do not need to thank us." Longinus spoke for the spirits. "We should be thanking you for remembering those dates you had with those beautiful women."
Ichigo chuckled as he scratched the back of his head, making all the spirits laugh. "Ya. They were nice to remember." He said smiling, thinking of those he had feelings towards. "Well, I better be going. See ya."
They all waved as Ichigo's body slowly left the mindscape, and once he did all the spirits looked to the white carbon copy of their master. "So what powers have you gained, Zangetsu?" Lucifer asked for the other two spirits.
The man grinned. "That will be my secret until Ichigo returns." He walked in the direction of the opening in the forest, which they were blocking him from. "Now move, I need to return to my peaceful banter with the moon."
He pushed past the other spirits, and they all watched as Zangetsu jumped off the skyscraper, and sonído to his place in the mindscape. They all soon followed in his example.

The deepest part of the Soul Society prison, and the prison of the Shinto, was a quiet place. Yes, it holds the greatest villains of both Soul Society and Shinto, but right now it was peaceful.
But little did those above know, was that not only was their greatest threat released, but their greatest ally was also in the same place at the same time.
Aizen opened his eyes when he heard a movement coming from in front of him. The transcendent man looked on as the once possessed body slowly got up. He noticed how the markings were gone from his once nemesis' face, and how his eyes were once again their chocolate brown.
"So you're finally awake, Ichigo Kurosaki." He said as the orange-haired teen looked up to him with a small glare. "Oh don't look at me like that, I just had to deal with your possessed body."
Ichigo went to a sitting position, his body ached, at every movement he made. "What happened?" He asked the bound man.
"Well I don't know what started it, but I believe your powers broke the binds that held me here," Aizen explained, as he got to his feet. "I believe I owe you thanks, Ichigo Kurosaki. You freed me from those binds, and now, I can do as I wish."
Ichigo glared at the man. "What do you plan on doing, Aizen?" The man turned to the orange-haired teen, and the smug smile appeared. Ichigo then watched as eight bat wings appeared on his back, and that explained everything. "So you are now a part of my peerage?"
"Oh is that what this is called?" Aizen looked at his wings and looked at them for a few seconds. "That's weird, I had six before? Well, it's for the better." Aizen extracted the wings and made for the still sitting war hero. Aizen went to a knee, grabbed the teen's chin, making him look up at him, and said. "You and I are one now, Ichigo Kurosaki."
Named teen glared and smacked the hand away. "I can see that." He slowly got to his feet. "Now just promise you won't attack Soul Society? If you do that, then I won't kick your ass again."
Aizen laughed standing up. "You beat me once, Ichigo Kurosaki, and that was by pure luck that Kisuke Urahara cast that kido." Aizen stopped and found himself with his eyes widened when he found himself struggling to stand. "H… how… I… is… this… possible?"
"Simple Aizen," Ichigo spoke, making his way to the man. "I have more power than you, a power that I could use to defeat you again." The orange-haired teen stopped, and Aizen found it hard to breathe as he fell to his knees. "Now Sosuke Aizen, will you swear that you won't attack Soul Society or Karakura Town?"
Aizen struggled to look up to the orange-haired teen. 'What is this power? He didn't have this when we last fought a year and so ago, and for it to affect me, a transcendent being?' The man then watched as in the background, behind the teen he thought weak, a shadow of a large three-headed hound, snarling at the downed man, showing it razor-sharp teeth, and the hunger it craved for. 'What in the hells is that?!' Aizen yelled to himself as he watched as something he truly couldn't comprehend happen in front of him
He, Sosuke Aizen, the master manipulator of the whole Soul Society, was forced to the ground by the power of someone he thought was weak, and powerless, to stand against his transcendent power. But he was proven wrong, for the teen in front of him was something greater than him, Ichigo Kurosaki is the truest being to a transcendent being, being born of a shinigami captain, and a Quincy that was infected by a hollow he made. However not only was Ichigo Kurosaki those three, but he also wielded power that Aizen has never seen before, and how the teen was able to summon a being of that calibre, by just his power being let out.
This was something Sosuke Aizen feared, this was something that sent shivers down his spine. Something that he couldn't comprehend, something he thought not possible. This was when Aizen looked to the ground, and for the first time, accepted defeat.
Ichigo saw this, and stopped, allowing all of his power to slowly return to him. The portal behind him closed and the three-headed hound was gone. "So Aizen what do you say? Will you swear it or will I have to kick your ass… again."
Aizen slowly got up dusting himself off and looked at the orange-haired teen. "As long as you live, I won't attack Soul Society or Karakura Town." He finished looking around. "How do we plan on getting out of here?"
The hybrid sighed, expecting that to be the man's answer. 'As long as I live, Aizen won't harm nor attack Soul Society or Karakura Town.' However, something in him told him it won't be for long. Ichigo then started looking around, only finding darkness wherever he looked. He went to ask where this might be, but before he could a door opened, and they found their answer. "I believe through there."
The two then made their way to leave, Aizen immediately noticing the loss of his zanpakuto, but in her place was a power that he knew nought, something that will take her place, and give him everything he wants. For the teen, he felt as if his peerage grew, feeling as if his friends had finally decided to join him.
As the two exited they both found themselves separated, the older one found himself in a basement that looked like the outside, with a pair of wide gray eyes looking at him, which soon grew to anger.
The younger one though found himself on the ground of an empty bathroom, well minus the naked goddess on his lap. The goddess was none other than the Goddess of the Sun, and the Queen of Takamagahara, who had a bright smile on her face. The teen sighed realizing that seeing a naked woman wasn't affecting him anymore.

Kuoh Town - Kuoh Academy

The three factions sat opposite each other, waiting for the Shinto's representatives to arrive. Standing around the room were the sisters of both Lucifer and Leviathan, Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri, respectively. With them were their peerage, all standing behind their king, and along the wall.
The room was in silence as they waited, the only conversation that happened was the one between the wielders of the Two Heavenly Dragons.
But since then they all waited in silence, with both Michael and Gabriel of the Angel Fraction with their eyes closed, as the former's recent Brave Soul fidgeted, well Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan, sat still thinking about things they have learned recently. For the leader of the Fallen Angels, Azazel, he just sat down with his arms crossed, and looking at the demon he had a contract with
The silence was suddenly broken by Azazel moving and speaking. "So Ichigo Kurosaki." He said looking at the students of the school they were currently sitting in, and he watched as everyone reacted to what he said, some varying from suspicion to blush and a saddened look on one short white-haired girl. However what had his full attention was how Issei reacted, his bored face, turned to one of hatred.
"What of him?" The unexpected voice of Sirzechs spoke. "He's a student of this very school, and a valued member of my sister's club, and the Student Council."
Azazel looked to the Crimson King of Hell and shrugged. "I just heard that he is quite popular here." He, side-eyed to see Issei's hatred grew. So he continued, wanting to get a greater reaction out of the wielder of the Welsh dragon. "From what I've heard, the majority of the school wants to bed him? They even say that he has a growing harem, with some of the members in this very ro-."
He was cut off by Issei slamming a gauntlet-activated hand into the wall beside him. "Let's have a change of subject!" He ground his teeth together as he said that. 'He doesn't deserve any of them! They should all be mine! Not his!" He said to himself.
Azazel felt a swell of success grow inside of him. 'So my words stuck to him. Good. It will help you grow, young Issei Hyoudou.' He shrugged and leaned back into his chair. "Sure." He said nonchalantly.
But as the silence slowly grew the doors opened and everyone looked to them and found two females dressed in Miko outfits. The students of the school recognized them, well the others just raised a brow.
They both bowed, and the dark green-haired female spoke. "We are sorry for keeping you waiting, we just received news from the Goddess, Amaterasu, that we will be acting as representatives, well the actual one is taking a rest."
"Nozomi, Senna, you never told us you were a part of the supernatural?" Rias said as she stepped forward. "But more importantly a part of the Shinto? Why didn't you tell us?"
The more energetic teen went to answer but was interrupted when everything stopped around them, and how the outside got darker. But what got everyone's attention was a voice. "I'm sorry for interrupting but I'll be taking Shirone." Everyone looked to the owner and found a black-haired, eared nekomata with two tails, standing behind the short white-haired nekomata. "It's about time we have a sisterly talk."
Everyone watched as the black-haired woman placed a hand onto Koneko's shoulder and vanished. That was when they heard the explosion. Everyone ran to the window and found that all the guards out there were as still as statues and how they were being killed, from left to right.
"What in the hells is happening!" One of the members of the student council shouted out, it was Yura. "Why aren't they moving!?"
Rias gasped, and everyone looked at her. "Gasper. Whoever is doing this has Gasper." Everyone that knew what she meant widened their eyes, and looked towards the old school building. "We need to get to him!"
She went to leave but was stopped by her brother grabbing her arm. "No, we need to make a plan." Sirzechs looked out the window as his men died out there. "I know that we need to save him, but this is a planned attack, and we need to plan a counterattack." He looked back to everyone in the room and noticed how they were all still moving about.
"Screw that. I will attack and you all follow." The white-haired teen dawned his balance breaker and blasted through the roof.
Azazel chuckled. "Don't mind him. He thirsts for a good fight." He explained as they all looked at him with a raised brow. The grin that he dawned vanished, as he nodded. "But Sirzechs is right. We need to make a plan, and it's too dangerous for you to leave this room, Missy." He said as he looked at the sister of the current Lucifer.
Rias nodded, she then felt her brother letting go of her arm. "In my office, there is a rook, I could castle myself into the old school building."
"Castle? What's that?" Both Issei and Saji asked simultaneously together.
Sona looked at her pawn and explained. "It's a move in chess that allows the king and rook to swap places." She placed a hand onto her chin. "That could work but if I were the enemy I would have guards protecting your Bishop Rias."
The crimson-haired beauty nodded. "Agreed. But that is also why I will be taking Issei with me." He looked at her pawn and saw that he had wide eyes. "He will be able to protect me, and fight the enemies."
Issei felt joy swell inside of him. 'I will finally be able to show that she belongs to me!' He said to himself.
Sirzechs nodded. "Then that is what will happen. Rias and Issei Hyoudou will go save Gasper." They both nodded, and the Crimson Demon King continued. "And for the rest of us, we will fight back the enemies."
"I don't think so!" Someone screamed out as the ceiling blew off, to show a handful of people standing above them. One of them was a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure, with a grin upon her face. "We won't let you!"
"Go!" Sirzechs yelled out to his sister and her pawn, as he readied for the attack. "Go stop this!" He watched as Rias nodded and placed a hand onto Issei's shoulder, as she closed her eyes, and within seconds they were gone. The crimson-haired maou looked at everyone in the room. "Will you join us to fight these people off, well we wait for the reinforcements? Sadly we maou, and angels can't join you, for if we used our powers we could destroy the town."
Everyone nodded, and went to reply but was stopped by the leader of the fallen angels. "That is for them. I, on the other hand, can join you." He looked at the tall bespectacled woman. "But my opponent will be the Monster of the End." He then vanished and so did the woman he looked at.
Sirzechs nodded and looked behind him to the students of the school. "Go. We will stay here and protect the school." Everyone nodded and they all vanished, some going to fight off the enemies that were killing the defenceless guards, and for others to go fight one of the handfuls of the people that were standing above them.
However, for one mixed breed, she found herself in front of a short, scrawny, pale man with long hair and his right side, body, arm, leg, and face burnt. His eyes shined emerald green and his smug and calm smile showed crooked teeth.
"Well well, if it isn't the great Baraqiel's daughter! Oh, I've been waiting for this moment! To exact my revenge!" The man yelled out as he showed his wings, 4 pairs of crow-like wings. "Prepare to die, you bitch!"
